Hello there I have a ZBook 15 G3 Laptop that won’t install the Hotkey Support software for some reason and my brightness controls and the microphone mute key is not working on my computer. I tried to install the hotkey support software but it didn’t work. When I attempt to install it from the exe it gives this message and then does nothing. If I try to right click the install.cmd and run as admin, it does something then fails and my brightness keys still don’t work. Here’s the log it gives me after. I checked if FAILURE.FLG is in the right place and it is. 2021/12/06 13:36:50.978|Info|Attempt to execute c:\SWSetup\SP103615\install.cmd…2021/12/06 13:37:03.238|Info|Completed2021/12/06 13:37:03.246|Warning|Skip installing UWP application (install.cmd already executed)2021/12/07 12:38:28.264|Info|Attempt to execute C:\SWSetup\SP103615\install.cmd…2021/12/07 12:38:38.978|Info|Completed2021/12/07 12:38:38.985|Warning|Skip installing UWP application (install.cmd already executed)2021/12/07 12:40:06.299|Info|Attempt to execute C:\SWSetup\SP103615\install.cmd…2021/12/07 12:40:15.766|Info|Completed2021/12/07 12:40:15.772|Warning|Skip installing UWP application (install.cmd already executed) 2021/12/06 13:36:50.989|Info|Attempt to execute c:\SWSetup\SP103615\install.cmd… c:\SWSetup\SP103615>REM The following is required in all INSTALL.CMD files c:\SWSetup\SP103615>echo offc:\SWSetup\SP103615\srcHotkey legacy uninstallation completed…A subdirectory or file c:\hp\HPQWare\HSAFusion already exists.A subdirectory or file C:\Program Files\HP\HP Application Enabling Services\ already exists.A subdirectory or file c:\hp\bridge\ already exists.A subdirectory or file c:\programdata\hp\bridge\ already exists.A subdirectory or file c:\programdata\hp\registration\ already exists.A subdirectory or file c:\hp\HPQWare\bridge\ already exists..\oobeparts\oobe2.txt1 File(s) copiedMon 12/06/2021 13:36:59.08 BASE - ErrorLevel “0 Error Flag “0” » “c:\system.sav\logs\CEPS\Fusiondriver.log” =============================================Installing HP HotKey Drivers 64BIT Operating System Detected[Base Driver Return] = 259[Extension Driver Return] = 259[Component Driver Return] = 259 =============================================Installing HP System Information Application HP System Information Application online installation started Deployment Image Servicing and Management toolVersion: 10.0.19041.844 Image Version: 10.0.19044.1348 Error: 1168 Element not found.

I figured it out. Turn out it wasn’t launching the installer for some reason so I manually launched the installer at C:\SWSetup\SP103615\src\DCHU\HotKey_legacy and it installed just fine and the brightness works. Spent so much time on this for such a little problem.
